Welsummer Point of lay hens
Welsummer chickens were created in the little Dutch village of Welsum, They are highly sought after as a production bird, laying a good amount of beautiful dark red/brown eggs.
These beautiful birds are also well known from their role in American advertising. The Kellogg's Corn Flake Rooster, "Cornelius" is a Welsummer.
Chicks are strong and are easily sexed as females have much darker head and back markings than males. They lay fewer eggs during the winter. They are friendly, easily handled birds which love to free range and forage for food but can also be kept in runs quite happily.
